History – How he entered into jesus
Dr.D.G.S.Dhinakaran is the founder of the Jesus Calls Ministry. Born on July 1, 1935, he had a very tough life being torn by the ailments of poverty and agony of unemployment.
Unable to bear the agony of these problems, on February 11, 1955, Dr.D.G.S.Dhinakaran decided to put an end to his life. He started towards the nearest railway track in his village to throw himself before the speeding train when he was stopped by his uncle who introduced Jesus Christ. He experienced a sudden wave of divine peace and hope, flood his heart. His mind was transformed and he returned home enlightened.
After this incident, things started happening in him supernaturally. He spent hours talking to God and sought Him with all his heart. Seven years of diligently seeking the Lord Jesus Christ! On October 9, 1962, he tarried at the feet of the Lord Jesus in prayer till midnight. He pleaded persistently. "Lord! Hear my prayer now and grant me Your power! Or else, slay me!
Next day dawned. 10th October 1962! he returned home at 9.30 in the night. Supper over, he joined the family prayers. He longed to have a glimpse of blessed vision of Jesus. The very next moment, a divine presence appeared in front of him! The Lord opened His eyes and with a radiant face, addressed him with a smile:
"My beloved son! I am Christ! Because you have been seeking Me diligently, I have come seeking you Myself, to bless you".
Yes! For three full hours he saw Lord Jesus face to face. The Lord gave His commission that has made his life a continual blessing to countless.
"My son! People might have heard of My love, but they haven't tasted it. So, I pour My love and compassion in your heart! This love

will console their broken hearts and heal their diseased bodies. You will be witness to the power of My Holy Spirit."
Thus, the 'JESUS CALLS MINISTRY' came into being as a one-man ministry. Dr.Dhinakaran considered men and women from all over the world, irrespective of their caste, creed, race or language, as his own brothers and sisters. He considered their tears as his own and preached to them the love and compassion of Christ. He invoked the Lord's blessings and pleaded Him to perform miracles that will wipe away the tears of the multitudes.

Apart from his job as a top executive in a bank, he devoted himself to God's ministry with utmost zeal.

In some meetings, he calls out a few people from the crowd and right before the huge crowd of over four hundred thousands, and reveals their past, their present and foretells the future.
In the Jesus Calls office we have oceans of reports of people who have reported miracles that have transformed their lives. People born blind see, the lame who are carried to the meetings in stretchers are healed and they walk, people who are suffering from tumours and cancer are healed, physical ailments which have tortured people for more than a quarter century vanish in a trice!
